I would not hesitate to go on a moose hunt with mine. If a bear was coming at me I'd be emptying my clip in a hurry and I'm sure he'd drop too. Use 150 grain bullets. A 30-06 in the same spot as a 270 won't make any difference.

You can kill anything you want. Deer, elk, grizzly, cape buf, elephant. Oh yes you need to shoot them where it counts. Best stick to 500 lb animals.

You can leave elephant and rhino off your list. Cape Buffalo is a stretch but still possible with the right bullet and the right placement. Larger bears are also a bit of a stretch.

There is really no clear-cut answer to the question. Bullet placement, bullet placement, bullet placement is the best answer I can give. I personally wouldn't go any larger than Elk and Black Bears. My uncle took a moose with a 50" spread with his .270, but that isn't something I would try. I would, however, trust a .30-06 to reliably kill any big game in North America up to and including grizzlies.

Technically, it's capable of killing practically any game animal. It's a little light for elk, but acceptable. I don't know anyone that uses one for moose, but I guess that would be doable too. People have hunted lions with a .270, but not that's not the best idea, supposedly. Lions are thin skinned and wimps, but everyone says you have to pretty much use a buffalo gun. I'd say elk is about the limit.

Steve I have a friend that went on a Dall sheep hunt and although no sheep were taken his guide told him to please place a bullet in a 9' grizz and so he did, said the bear only went 50 yrds and droped. I would not have done it, I would also look at the guide and ask him if he had soft spots in his head. NO I would not recomend a 270 for anything that weighs 800 pounds with teeth unless it is all I had for everything else it will promptly knock them dead as hell.
